Lighting

[Mystic]

With V4 will the lighting system be changed at all? Or will it still be those awful pixelated foregrounds?

doesn't every sandbox game that has darkness do it that way?  I can see some types of games with fixed lighting(scripted games) having some dark areas that are just less light...but you can't do it that way if you don't know where a light source is coming from.

and even working with a scripted game, lighting is hard

Silverlight supports opacity, so it won't be pixelated foregrounds.
On the version I just posted, area you explored that is not visible, shows up at 70%, so you can kinda gauge what it might look like, kinda.

Lighting will still be client handled I think.
